2001: A Space Odyssey. I had been thinking about that film in relation
to grandiose themes - omniversal, (how much bigger can one get?)
Yet on that cosmic scale, human significance diminishes drama-tically as we put
humanity into perspective. (Just from our own galactic scale perspective,
earth is small as an electron, one would need a microscope to see it!) So
bigger one gets, things tend to get rather impersonal. For an
interesting take on relative impersonal coldness of 2001 vis-a-vis
Tarkovsky's warmer,more personal Solaris, go to Underman's Review
